Personality traits have a significant effect on person’s behaviors, feelings and patterns of thoughts. This makes people different from others in terms of where they stand on a set of basic trait dimensions that persist over time and across situations. The objective of this study is to see if there is an effect of personality traits on pro-social behavior. The sample consisted of 50 people; 25 boys and 25 girls. Data analysis was done using SPSS Version 29.0 and Linear Regression Analysis was used to check the hypotheses. It was found that none of the five personality traits had a significant effect on pro-social behavior on the total sample, male sample and the female sample. Only Neuroticism was found to have a significant and negative effect on pro-social behavior in females only with its value being -0.538 (Significant at .05 level).Metrics
